Poop and Sex and Movies. I Guess That About Wraps It Up Today at 1:00 I knew that both of my kids were due for a nap, and that our neighbors were going to drop off their kids at 2:00 for some babysitting time. So, in my crafty way, I planned on getting some loving from my husband before 2:00. I was having such a good time, it felt so good, and it was only 1:45! Well, right then my neighbors knocked on the door. We ignored it. They knocked again. We ignored it. They knocked again. *sigh* I had specifically double checked with them that 2:00 was the time to come over! We gave up at that point. I said, "Give me two minutes," throught the door, got dressed, then opened the door to find that they had gone back home. *sigh* again. I called up there, and D asked, "Are you done fucking yet?" Yes, now that you interrupted us we are. I should have known, because they always come over earlier than they say to drop off their kids. And then their kids aren't in clean diapers some of the time. So one of the first things I did was change the older child's diaper. At least it was just a peepee one. I can handle my kids' diapers, but other kids' poop is just the grossest thing on earth. I only have one more kid to train, and he is peeing in the toilet on a regular basis, so there is hope yet! He is only 15 months old, too, so let's hope that by this time next year I will never have to change a diaper again, unless it is my grandkid's and it's not poopy. Ahhh... poop and sex. What can I say? I just read the book Shackleton's Boat Journey, about the survival of 28 men whose ship sunk in pack ice off the coast of Antarctica, then used three very small (22 ft) boats to get help. Six of the men sailed 800 miles in one of these boats through the stormiest ocean in the world to get help. It's amazing. Someone else lent me a David Bryn book, Startide Rising that I just can't seem to get into. The plot seems interesting, but there is just a lack of excitement on my part. I like sci-fi, such as Asimov, Clarke, Heinlin, but maybe this guy is just a different sort? Movies I've seen lately include: Amelie and Office Space. I really want to see Fireworks, a Kitano movie about a brutal policeman and his dying wife, which is supposedly one of the best movies of the 90's, but Netflix doesn't seem to have it. We'll see if Cinefile has it. I'll be surprised if they don't, because that movie is right up their alley. This entry has devolved into a stultifying discussion of the movies I've seen lately. Lord help you still reading. Really I should be deciding what worthwhile endeavor that I should accomplish this weekend, such as painting my grandmother's dresser, folding laundry, or other such noble activities. Can someone please find me a good babysitter? I wanted to go see the Suicide Girls last night, but I wanted to take my husband with me. Instead we just stayed home and watched a movie and ate ice cream. At least I ate ice cream. We also drank tea. Burlesque show or movie, which would you choose? |
